The webinterface refuses to do the upgrade with the message: This is only available on a Raspberry PI.
The page with raspberry settings isn’t functional anymore after the manual upgrade;
No audio-card selection and no debug-information with config.txt.

Hi Mohammad,
I burned the new max2play 2.41 image.
Updating the kernel through the max2play webinterface only updates the rpi firmware to 4.9-y.
It does not upgrade the raspbian kernel which is still at version 4.4.41-v7+

I’d like to upgrade the kernel to 4.9 since it brings improvements to audio and to the sd-card drivers.

Off course I rebooted it 🙂
After the reboot I tried Upgrade Kernel again and received the message; no updates.
And the Kernel is still on 4.4.41-v7+

On the previous image I did exactly the same; I then went in using ssh and upgraded the kernel from the command-line using: sudo BRANCH=next rpi-update
After the reboot the max2play Raspberry Settings webpage stated: This function is for Raspberry Pi ONLY! It seems, that you do not have a Raspberry PI.
All the other pages work fine, as does my HifiBerry Digi+ Pro

I could reproduce this behaviour.
The webinterfaces kernel-updater is interrupted by the safety question about the driver compability since the 4.9 kernel is in the master branch of rpi-update.
If I run rpi-update via ssh an answer the safety question everything runs fine – but max2play doesn’t recognise the PI3 anymore (just BCM2835) and settings are locked as described above.

I could get my new Zero W working with just a „dist-upgrade“ so I could resign ugrading the kernel to 4.9.

The Zero W is working nicely so far with the 4.4 kernel, but an upgrade would be nice. The recent image doesn’t support rpi-update (has to be upgraded?) on the Zero W and obviously the WiFi drivers are missing in the recent 2.41 image too – a dist upgrade on a PI3 did solve this problem for me.

So long it’s a litlle bit more complex to get the Zero W working – hoping for a new image with all the driver packet already included an maybe support for the new kernel 🙂
